Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Maintenance Northolt

Garden Maintenance Northolt is committed to eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking from our operations and supply chains. We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy against any form of forced labour, servitude, or trafficking. This statement explains how our Northolt garden maintenance teams and contractors identify, prevent and respond to risks of modern slavery within our organisation and with our partners. We recognize our responsibility as a local provider of garden upkeep and landscaping to maintain ethical standards across all services.

Our zero-tolerance approach means that any evidence of exploitation will result in immediate action, up to and including termination of contracts and referral to the appropriate authorities. Garden maintenance in Northolt must be performed by workers who are treated fairly and paid appropriately. We communicate these expectations to all staff, subcontractors and suppliers and require adherence to both legal and ethical labour standards. Training and awareness sessions form a core part of our workforce induction and ongoing professional development.

We implement a risk-based supplier audit programme for all Northolt garden maintenance suppliers. Audits include verification of workers’ rights, review of recruitment practices, working hours, wage records and health and safety protocols. Our due diligence is dynamic: higher-risk suppliers receive increased scrutiny, while lower-risk partners are monitored through periodic checks. Key supplier requirements are outlined in contractual terms and monitored through site visits, documentation reviews and third-party checks, ensuring compliance with our anti-slavery standards.

We maintain clear policies that reinforce our commitment to preventing modern slavery across all Garden Maintenance Northolt activities. Strong governance structures ensure that responsibility for compliance is embedded at senior levels and operationally across teams. Our procurement process includes mandatory checks prior to onboarding new suppliers and continuous monitoring thereafter. A register of audit findings and corrective actions is maintained and reviewed to close gaps swiftly.

The supplier audit framework used by our garden maintenance services in Northolt covers document verification, worker interviews and site inspections. Audit results determine risk ratings and trigger corrective action plans where necessary. We require suppliers to demonstrate evidence of lawful recruitment, freedom of movement for staff, transparent payroll systems and safe housing where applicable. This helps us reduce the potential for exploitation in our extended supply chain.

Within our teams, regular training emphasises the signs of modern slavery and the processes for reporting and escalation. Managers are trained to spot indicators of forced labour or abusive labour practices, and staff are encouraged to raise concerns through the appropriate channels listed below without fear of reprisal.

We provide multiple reporting channels for workers, suppliers and third parties to raise concerns confidentially. These channels include internal reporting to line managers, anonymous reporting mechanisms and escalation to senior compliance officers. Reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly; where necessary, we work with law enforcement and specialist organisations to support affected individuals. Our approach aims to protect whistleblowers and victims, ensuring support and remediation as required.

This Modern Slavery Statement applies to all aspects of our business with particular emphasis on the labour practices underpinning Northolt garden maintenance operations. We maintain a programme of continuous improvement that incorporates lessons learned from incidents, supplier audits and stakeholder dialogue. Our corrective measures include contract termination, supplier re-education, and worker remediation where exploitation is identified.

We commit to an annual review of this statement and our procedures to ensure effectiveness and transparency across all Garden Maintenance Northolt activities. Each year our senior management will review audit outcomes, training completion rates and any reported incidents to refine our strategy and strengthen safeguards. This statement is authorised by company leadership and will be published to reflect our ongoing commitment to combatting modern slavery.
